A Pentatomid form, more than 20 mm. long, thus a very large 
bug, is present. Prothorax distinctly broadest behind the middle. 
The middle lobe of Rostrum hardly as long as the side lobes. The 
most surprising features of this specimen is the apparently very short 
Scutellum with semicircular hind margin. Such a Scutellum is un¬ 
known in the recent Pentatomids and also in Ihe Tertiary forms. A 
comparison with the recent forms belonging to this group, however, 
calls the attention to the Scutelleridæ, the Scutellum of which is pro¬ 
jecting tonguelike backwards covering almost all the abdomen, whilst 
only a short basal area is connected with the underlying part of the 
body. In Tectocoris and allied forms the solid basal part of Scutellum 
has exactly the same semicircular outline found in our Tertiary species. 
The question now is whether the Tertiary form really is a Scutellerid 
and has the long tongue-like projection backwards from the solid
